Zodiac Compatibility in Senior Relationships

Zodiac Compatibility in Senior Relationships

Romance as an older adult looks quite different from how it may have looked in your younger years—especially if you’re exploring new romance. You have decades of life experience, a career that helped shape you, and a family who is your whole world. You are more or less set in your ways, and finding someone who fits those ways can be challenging.

No matter how much we want it, there is never a predictive guarantee as to who you will be your perfect match. However, there may be certain factors you can look out for. Over the past several decades, individuals of all ages have turned to their zodiac signs for clarity on their personal and love lives. On your hunt for “the one,” consider examining your zodiac compatibility in senior relationships.

Before you start taking notes on your dates, there is one important thing to remember about zodiac compatibility: this is not an end-all, be-all guide to relationships. This is just a fun blueprint to keep in mind as you meet people.

What are the zodiac signs?

Zodiac signs, or astrological signs, refer to the constellations the sun passes through at certain points in the year. It is believed that these constellations impact one’s personality, though there is no scientific evidence genuinely pointing to this. For many, astrology is a way of explaining certain factors or commonalities across their lives that they otherwise struggle to explain.

Many cultures have their own form of astrology (another commonly recognized option being the Chinese Zodiac), but Western cultures have adopted the astrology put forth by the Greeks almost two thousand years ago. They are as followed:

• Aries (March 21–April 19)
• Taurus: (April 20–May 20)
• Gemini: (May 21–June 21)
• Cancer: (June 22–July 22)
• Leo: (July 23–August 22)
• Virgo: (August 23–September 22)
• Libra: (September 23–October 23)
• Scorpio: (October 24–November 21)
• Sagittarius: (November 22–December 21)
• Capricorn: (December 22–January 19)
• Aquarius: (January 20–February 18)
• Pisces: (February 19–March 20)

One’s zodiac compatibility in senior relationships—or any relationship, for that matter—can be explained by the common traits each sign possesses. You are likely already aware of certain personality types that you tend not to get along with. Between these personalities, it is possible there is an astrological sign in common and you might not even know it! On the opposite end of the spectrum, there could be certain signs that are the perfect, romantic fit.

Best zodiac compatibility for seniors

Aries and Libra

Aries individuals are known for an abundant spirit and spice for life, sometimes to the point of being seen as somewhat frenzied. Libras, on the other hand, have more balanced personalities. They are equally as social and fun as Aries, but Libras have a more peaceful energy that helps keep Aries grounded in a relationship.

Taurus and Capricorn

Both Tauruses and Capricorns are known for being levelheaded individuals. Capricorns are practical, determined, hardworking, and often quite career focused. Tauruses may be stubborn, but they are also tenacious and reliable. These similar, goal-oriented personality traits make them wonderful matches.

Gemini and Leo

Whether you’re seven or 70, Geminis are known for their playful, passionate spirit. This makes them a fantastic match for Leos, who are driven, creative, and confident. Despite being so excitable, Leos are often more conscientious individuals. This makes them great for helping Geminis focus and develop a stable, yet fun, life.

Cancer and Taurus

Cancers are well-known for their sensitive, nurturing nature. They cultivate a strong family and interpersonal life from their younger years into their older adulthood, and want to receive that same energy in return. This makes the dependable, loyal personality of Tauruses a fantastic romantic fit.

Leo and Aries

For a fiery, passionate match, Leos and Aries are a great fit. Leos and Aries are always willing to try something new and exciting, but for those days they don’t want to leave the home, they can easily keep one another entertained for hours. This is a great match for those looking to make the most of retirement.

Virgo and Scorpio

Methodical and practical, Virgos often find comfort in sticking to the routines they’ve built. This reliability is great for all kinds of relationships, but Virgos pair nicely with Scorpios in particular. Passion is practically synonymous with Scorpio. They can help pull the Virgo out of their shell while also relying on the Virgo’s dependability.

Libra and Aquarius

As social and easy-going individuals, Libras are fantastic matches for the more independent nature of Aquarians. Both intellectual and creative individuals, Libras and Aquarians are likely to have a number of compatible interests that makes getting along easy. Libras may encourage Aquarians to embrace their social nature, while an Aquarius could encourage Libra to be more self-sufficient.

Pisces and Capricorn

Many think the more emotional nature of Pisces and the logical, straightforward nature of Capricorns may make for a difficult match, but that is not the case. Especially in older relationships, Capricorns help Pisces feel secure, whereas Pisces help Capricorns grow more in touch with their inner selves.

When exploring your romantic relationships, make sure you have support at home

As you look to add enrichment into your life in the form of a partner, don’t leave your needs for later. If tasks like cooking, remembering to take your medication, and housekeeping have grown too laborious, consider hiring the support of an at-home caregiver.
